The group explained that Yusuf’s decision followed alleged efforts by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to control and undermine him. The faction further insisted that it was Kwankwaso—not the governor—who betrayed the trust of the NNPP founder. The NNPP faction said Yusuf made several efforts, as the party’s leader, to resolve internal disputes but was repeatedly frustrated. It added that its position followed comments by Engineer Buba Galadima on Yusuf’s reported move from the NNPP to the All Progressives Congress (APC). It urged Kwankwaso and his supporters to seek God’s guidance and forgiveness, insisting that Kwankwaso’s influence in Kano politics has declined.
